Agabus

Agabus was a Christian prophet from Judea.

Biography
Agabus was born in Jerusalem, and he became one of the Seventy Disciples of the early Christian Church. He received the gift of prophecy and predicted a severe famine which occurred during the reign of the Roman emperor Claudius, and, in 58 AD, he met with Paul the Apostle at the home of Philip the Evangelist in Caesarea Maritima. He warned Paul of his coming capture and bound his own hands and feet with Paul's belt to demonstrate what would happen if he continued on his journey to Jerusalem. Agabus continued on to several other countries to convert their peoples to Christianity, and he was stoned to death by the Jews at Antioch.
